Disc News: Fast & Furious 6 Detailed For Blu-ray

Traditionally franchises get worse in the long run. Horror sequels are an easy recipe for success up until the audience grows bored. But mainstream releases are tricky. Oftentimes a successful release may get a sequel, but rarely will the franchise get past three films before someone signals a need for a reboot. That’s what makes the Fast & Furious series such a peculiarity. What makes it so peculiar is that the series has gotten better as it continues to rev along.

After bettering the worldwide totals of Fast Five by more than $200 million, Fast & Furious 6 makes its arrival as an explosive extended edition Blu-ray combo pack this December.

The Blu-ray Combo Pack arrives December 16, 2013 and includes a Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD with Ultraviolet for those who like to watch their films while they are on the move. It also includes a number of exclusive behind-the-scenes featurettes in addition to an extended version of the film.

· The London Chase — Gives viewers a front-row seat for the filming of a sprawling car chase through the streets of one of the world’s most historic—and congested—cities. Examines how director Justin Lin and his team pulled off car-flipping mayhem on a breathtaking scale.

Feature Commentary with Director Justin Lin

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez lead a cast of returning all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed delivers the biggest adrenaline rush yet in this explosive extended version. Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled drivers, whose mastermind (Luke Evans) is aided by the love Dom (Diesel) thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal mercenaries from stealing a top secret weapon is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks for the help of Dom and his elite team. Payment for the ultimate chase? Full pardons for all of them and a chance to make their families whole again.
